[例1]Room 608, Friendship HotelMarch 18, 2002 Dear Sir,I am an Englishman, now on a tour in Beijing. This is the first time I am in China. I naturally feel that everything is interesting and strange. Yesterday, when I visited the Great Wall, I was greatly fascinated in this marvelous miracle. Upon my arrival back at the hotel, I found my handbag was missing. There were my passport and a camera in it. I was very worried, feeling that it was completely impossible for me to find it again. At eight oclock in the evening, a young man accompanied by a hotel attendant came to my room with a bag in his hand. I at once recognized that it was my bag. I thanked him heartily for his kindness and offered him a reward of 200 U. S. dollars. But he refused to take even a cent. At my insistence, he told me his name when leaving. He is Zhu Ying of your company. Deeply moved by his selfless spirit, I am writing a letter to commend his noble deed. Please convey my gratitude for him.Yours respectfully,Jack London [例2] Dear Prof. Wang,Thanks to your letter of recommendation to the CEO of Net Ease.
